Recognition and Management
of Shock
Jim Holliman, M.D., F.A.C.E.P. Program Manager, Afghanistan Health Care Sector Reconstruction Project Center for Disaster and Humanitarian Assistance Medicine Professor of Military and Emergency Medicine Uniformed Services University Bethesda, Maryland, U.S.A. 3
Shock : Lecture Objectives • Define shock • Recognize stages or degrees of shock • Know appropriate management for each
stage
4
Shock • Definitions :
• A state of inadequate tissue oxygenation & organ perfusion
• Situation when the circulation is inadequate for metabolic needs
5
Principles of Shock Recognition and Management
• Patients in shock may only exhibit subtle signs
• Identifying the cause is usually less important than starting treatment
• Goal is to restore perfusion and correct the shock state
• Frequent reassessment of response to treatment is important
6
The Body's Mechanisms to Try to Compensate for Shock
• Increase cardiac output : tachycardia • Increase oxygen supply : tachypnea • Release of vasoactive mediators
• Nausea • Peripheral vasoconstriction
• Cool, clammy skin, increased diastolic pressure, decreased urine output
• Note : "Compensated" shock is still dangerous and needs treatment ; pediatric patients may maintain a partially compensated shock and then suddenly catastrophically deteriorate
7
Types of Shock • Hemorrhagic : most common in trauma patients • Hypovolemic (emesis, diarrhea, etc.) • "Obstructive"
• Pulmonary embolus, cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax
• Cardiogenic • Acute myocardial infarction, Myocardial contusion
• Neurogenic • Septic • Anaphylactic
8
Principle of Treatment for Shock • In the trauma patient in shock : always
treat for hemorrhagic shock first
9
General Symptoms of Shock • Weakness • Dizziness • Lightheadedness • Nausea • Sense of impending doom
10
General Signs of Shock • Decreased mental status or confusion • Cool, clammy, or grey or ashen color
skin • Diaphoresis • Tachycardia • Tachypnea • Hypotension • Oliguria
11
Hemorrhagic Shock • Hemorrhage definition :
• Acute loss of circulating blood ; can be internal and / or external
• Normal body blood volume • Adults : 7 % of ideal body weight
• 5 liters in 70 kg adult • Children : 8 % of ideal body weight
• 80 ml/kg
12
The Four Stages of Hemorrhagic Shock • Stage 1 hemorrhage : 0 to 15 % of total
blood volume (TBV) • Stage 2 hemorrhage : 15 to 30 % of TBV • Stage 3 hemorrhage : 30 to 40 % of TBV • Stage 4 hemorrhage : > 40 % of TBV

18
Variations in Manifestations of the Four Stages of Shock
• Patients do not always show the progression of signs & sx listed on the prior 4 slides with progression of the degree or severity of shock
• Some adults, especially young adults, may have normal pulse rates or even bradycardia with stage 2 or 3 shock
• Pediatric patients may remain in "compensated" shock until almost preterminal stage 4 shock
19
Sequence of Assessment of the Patient in Shock
• Airway • Breathing
• Oxygenate • Ventilate
• Circulation • Stop external hemorrhage with direct pressure • Start IV fluid resuscitation • Assess for "obstructive shock"
• Tension pneumothorax : needle thoracostomy • Cardiac tamponade : pericardiocentesis
20
Rapid Fluid Resuscitation for Shock • Draw blood for type and cross-match from the needlestick
for the IV line • Place large bore (> 18 gauge) IV if possible • Place 2 IV lines if Stage 3 or 4 shock • Initially run fluid in "wide-open"
• Use large drip chamber IV tubing • May need pressure bags on the IV bags • Usually use Lactated Ringers
• Choose normal saline if patient may be hyperkalemic • Normal saline also preferred for same IV line to be
used for blood transfusion • Do not use vasopressors ; treat with fluids
21
Alternative Vascular Access Sites for Shock Treatment
• Peripheral vein in upper extremity ; Preferred in most patients • Avoid if possible proximal limb fracture
• Central veins • Subclavian or internal jugular vein ; accessible even in Stage
4 shock • Access can cause pneumothorax (always get CXR to
check) • Femoral vein ; easy and safer to place
• If abdominal injury present, fluid may extravasate in abdomen
• Intraosseous line : may be easiest and even preferred initial route in children ; can also be tried in adults
• Intraperitoneal 22
Other Resuscitative Procedures for Severe Shock
• Blood transfusion • Type - O-negative (if needed immediately) • Type - specific (if needed in < 15 minutes) • Fully crossmatched
• Emergent left thoracotomy, pericardiotomy, aortic clamping
• Autotransfusion • Most useful for blood output from chest tubes
23
Indications for Emergent Transfusion With O-Negative Blood
• No palpable blood pressure at arrival • Multiple simultaneous patients requiring
emergent transfusion • Rapid deterioration or sudden large volume
external blood loss and type specific blood not immediately available
24
Indications for Transfusion With Type-Specific or Fully Crossmatched Blood
• Type-specific : (usually takes 5 to 10 minutes to obtain from blood bank) • Transfusion emergent but can wait 10
minutes but not 60 minutes • Fully crossmatched : (takes 45 to 60
minutes) • Patient stable enough that transfusion can be
delayed 45 to 60 minutes until blood is ready
25
Non-Hemorrhagic Types of Shock
• Hypovolemic (non-hemorrhagic) shock • Due to vomiting , diarrhea, "third spacing" of
fluid • Treat with IV Lactated Ringers or saline • Does not need blood transfusion
• Anaphylactic shock • Due to allergic reaction with release of
vasoactive mediators which can cause airway edema & vasodilatation
• Treat with IV fluids & epinephrine
26
Non-Hemorrhagic Types of Shock (cont.)
• Septic Shock • Can be a late or delayed complication • Patient may have fever or hypothermia • Treat with IV fluids ; sometimes need
secondary treatment with vasopressors • Finding and directly treating the source of
the sepsis is critical to save the patient (start antibiotics, drain abscess if present, etc.)
27
Non-Hemorrhagic Types of Shock (cont.)
• "Obstructive" : key sign is distended neck veins in the patient with shock • Tension pneumothorax
• Treat with anterior needle thoracostomy • Cardiac tamponade
• Treat initially with IV fluids • Consider pericardiocentesis
• Pulmonary embolus : • Need to confirm diagnosis (V/Q or spiral CAT scan) • Then treat with thrombolytics or embolectomy
28
Non-Hemorrhagic Types of Shock (cont.)
• Cardiogenic : due to heart pumping dysfunction • Acute myocardial infarction (sometimes this
can be the original cause of a person injuring themself in a traffic accident or fall)
• Myocardial contusion • Actually is rare even with major blunt chest
trauma • May require treatment with vasopressors
(dopamine)
29
Non-Hemorrhagic Types of Shock (cont.) • Neurogenic : due to spinal cord injury and loss
of sympathetic nervous system outflow • Results in venous pooling, peripheral vasodilation • Often has relative bradycardia • Treat with IV fluids first, then alpha vasoconstrictors
if hypovolemic shock ruled out • Spinal shock : actually is a "cord-stunning"
syndrome • Flaccidity and loss of reflexes • Is an "electrical" phenomenon of the spinal cord • May have complete recovery
30
Pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment (PASG)
• Also called MAST (Military Anti-Shock Trousers) • Probably not useful for most trauma cases • Some studies actually indicate increased mortality with
routine use • Placement can interfere with physical exam and
placement of femoral IV lines • Dangerous if prematurely or rapidly deflated • Most of complications associated with inflation of
abdominal compartment • Prolonged inflation can cause compartment syndrome
31
Pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment (PASG) • Inflation may be helpful for :
• Reducing bleeding from pelvic fractures • Splinting fractured femurs • Non-pharmacologic treatment of
Supraventricular tachycardia • Anaphylactic shock
32
PASG : Contraindications • Pregnancy • Evisceration • Suspected diaphragm rupture • Increased intracranial pressure • Uncontrolled hemorrhage from body area
(chest) not covered by the garment • Pulmonary edema
33
Measurement of Central Venous Pressure (CVP) in Shock Patients
• CVP acts as measure of right side of heart's ability to accept a fluid load
• Central venous IV line not needed for most trauma patients
• CVP line measurements may be helpful for patients with : • Preexistent cardiac dysfunction (CHF) • Implanted pacemaker • Neurogenic shock • Myocardial contusion • Suspected cardiac tamponade
34
Interpretation of Initial CVP in Trauma Patients
• Low (< 6 mm Hg) : Hypovolemia • Continue IV fluids or transfusion
• High (> 15 to 18 mm Hg) : • Hypervolemia (overtransfusion) • Right heart failure (infarction) • Cardiac tamponade • Lung disease • Tension pneumothorax • Catheter malposition • Vasopressors or PASG inflation
35

36
Monitoring of the Shock Patient • Response to therapy judged by monitoring :
• Patient's mental status & speech • Pulse, blood pressure, respirations • Urine output (should be at least 1 cc / Kg / hr. or
30 cc / hr in adults) • Capillary refill & skin pertusion • CVP • Lab data (less important than clinical parameters)
37
Lab Results in the Shock Patient • Hematocrit
• May be normal initially despite severe blood loss • If low initially may represent very severe blood loss
• Blood urea nitrogen • May be elevated if hypovolemic (prerenal azotemia)
or if blood in upper GI tract • Small elevations may represent severe dehydration
in children • Serum glucose
• May be highly elevated from stress alone (not due to diabetes)
38
Lab Results in the Shock Patient (cont.)
• White blood cell count • Whether high or normal or low has little
diagnostic or prognostic significance • Serum calcium
• May be low if citrated blood transfused • Usually not necessary to treat
39
Causes of Coagulopathy in the Shock Patient
• Hypothermia : (usually temp. < 35.5 degrees Celsius) • Most common cause • Very important to take all possible measures to
prevent • Massive transfusion
• "Washout" of coagulation factors and platelets • May need one unit fresh frozen plasma per 6 to 8
units of blood transfused • May need one pack (6 to 8 units) of platelets per 8 to
12 units of blood transfused • Sepsis • Preexistent coagulopathy or liver failure • Drug or toxin effect 40
Considerations If the Patient Fails to Respond to Treatment for Shock
• Unrecognized fluid loss • Ventilation problems • Acute gastric distention
• Treat by NG tube / suction • Cardiac tamponade • Acute myocardial infarction • Diabetic Ketoacidosis • Adrenal crisis • Neurogenic shock • Hypothermia • Drug or toxin effect
41
Hidden Blood Loss from Fractures
INJURY Range of Blood Loss (ml)
Closed leg fracture 500 to 1000 Closed femur fracture 500 to 2500 Open femur fracture 1000 to > 2500 Closed arm fracture 500 to 750 Closed spine fracture 500 to 1500 Closed pelvis fracture 1000 to > 3000 Open pelvic fracture > 2500
42
Shock Assessment & Treatment Summary • Start shock treatment with the primary
survey • Categorize the initial estimated blood loss • Assess the type(s) of shock present • Frequently reassess the response to
treatment • Progressive or non-responsive shock may
require emergent surgery for correction
